Book Tour Dates for The Dragon Has Some Complaints!

Thank you all for being patient with me. You’re probably aware how profoundly sick I was for several months there, and the road to recovery has been fraught. But I survived, and I came out of it with a new book. It’s a book I can’t wait to give to you.

And this July, I’ll be bringing it myself!

I’m giddy to share the dates for my first book tour in over a year. I’ll be hitting New York City, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington D.C., and Baltimore Maryland, with a special stop on the internet for people who are out of reach.

On the tour, I’ll be joined some amazing fellow authors. It’s going to be a series of conversations to remember. Conversations with wings, scales, and a safety-appropriate amount of fire.

I hope to see many of you out there. It’s been heck going through physical therapy, but seeing some smiling readers will make it all worth it. And if anything, these events have only brought me closer to the disabled dragon at the heart of this novel.

New Story Day: Welcome To Heroism

Beloved readers, I’ve got a new short story for you!

Today “Welcome To Heroism” went live at Uncanny Magazine. It follows a mysterious app called The Dare. Appearing out of nowhere, The Dare gives users outrageous fame if they’re the first person to complete its challenges. At first the challenges just seem incredibly reckless, like running into wildfires or messing with data centers. But as the challenges become things only the superhumans in the audience can do, they also become increasingly altruistic. It’s almost like The Dare has an agenda...

This is my eighth appearance in Uncanny Magazine, one of my favorite destinations in the world of speculative prose. The issue also features work by Stephen Graham Jones, Theodora Goss, Samantha Mills, Ai Jiang, Marissa Lingen, and more. It tickles me to be in their company.

If you read it, please let me know what you think! It’s a story idea that buzzed around in my head for years. I had to let it out, via the nearest available keyboard.
